[4/4, blues w/prominent beat]
DISTRACTION
–D. Ewing (lyrics), J. Wrabek (music)
1.
Wasn't lookin' for love
I was lookin' for distraction
Then my eyes lit on you
And my heart went into action
Wasn't lookin' for no long term
I was lookin' for some action
But the time I spend with you
Leaves me full of satisfaction.
BRIDGE:
Seems silly after all this time
To be puttin' feelings into words
But I told all my friends about you
And I think it's time you heard
2.
I wasn't lookin' for love
I was lookin' for distraction
Now my heart is in your hands
And there won't be no retraction
Wasn't lookin' for love
Didn't have no heart to lose
Wasn't lookin' for love
Guess I was lookin' for you.
[LEAD BREAK, THEN REPEAT BRIDGE & 2.]
